Soon, some Ming troops who went upstream met the Qing troops.

But as soon as they met, the gap in equipment was revealed. The formation, which was already scattered due to going upstream, was directly smashed into pieces by the Qing army. Those who stood up to fight were cut down to the ground in the blink of an eye.

People with second- and third-level blood qualities fly away like duckweeds in the torrent of the crowd.

The impact of the flanking military camp caused a large area of ​​the Ming army in the entire camp to be torn apart, causing the heaven and earth to become inoperable.

Troops gradually gathered in other military camps around the main camp, either waiting and watching, or receiving orders from the general to rush to the main camp to provide support.

But amid the chaos and the neighing of people and horses, the figure of General Liu Zeqing was missing.

After he fled on horseback, he did not dare to look back and command the army to fight back.

It was at this time that a team appeared that stood out among the disintegrating Ming army. Not only did they attack upstream, but they also showed rare combat effectiveness when facing the Qing army!

The leader, wearing a hat and helmet, was tall and strong, wielding a large gun, leading a group of people behind him who only wore civilian clothes and did not even wear military uniforms and coats to fight back!

"Li Huajing of Cao County is here! Anyone who escapes will die! If you follow me and kill the slaves, you will have a way to survive!!"

Liu Zeqing led more than a thousand remnant soldiers who followed him and fled overnight to Wuyi County in the rear. Wuyi County, which had been harmed by Liu Zeqing's command before, closed its doors.

Azig led his army to attack the camp, and Huai'an Town, one of the four towns, was directly defeated. It is roughly estimated that nearly 40,000 soldiers were lost due to death, capture, injury, and escape and disappearance.

The Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian, who had previously been extremely confident about the Northern Expedition, slumped down on a chair in his study the day he heard the news.

And he was not the only one affected by such a huge defeat.

The next day, Azig returned with his victorious division and more than 20,000 prisoners. Huang Degong's troops stationed in Cangzhou sent troops to intercept, but Azig left more than 10,000 prisoners and returned with a full load.

A long roar really inspired many soldiers to join his queue.

We haven’t even touched the walls of the capital yet!

The Ming army's offensive came to an abrupt end.

Liu Zeqing cannot be punished immediately, he may still be of some use.

This is far from what was written in the intelligence obtained by the Qing Dynasty!

Even after the war, some of his subordinates would directly abandon him as the commander-in-chief and go to the north to listen to Huang Degong's command in Cangzhou.

Seeing that chaos was inevitable, Li Huajing of Cao County had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat angrily and quickly escape from the hopeless camp.

Even down to the smallest detail, there are still many Ming troops resisting vigorously in the camp, and some even commit suicide generously with grief and indignation on their faces. They all call out who is at fault, God does not bless the Ming, and they are loyal to the Ming.

The soldiers and horses of each unit were either killed and fled in embarrassment, or those who had been watching before turned around and ran away.

When the pursuing Qing army reached Gucheng County, more than two hundred people saw that they really couldn't take it, so they fired arrows at the top of the city for a while before retreating.

After taking several deep breaths, Zhu Yujian seriously told himself not to be angry.

Four towns in Jiangbei?

At this time, Azig also slowed down his steps under the protection of his personal guards. Seeing the Ming soldiers kneeling around him and not daring to move, his heart was very happy and he couldn't stop the ferocious smile on his face.

When the news reached Nanjing, it can be said that the whole country was shocked.

"No! But the guard camp has gone after the enemy in armor! There may be something to gain!"

Liu Zeqing brought a total of only 70,000 troops in this battle, and more than half of them were lost. Moreover, the few elites he brought together were also severely damaged. The loss of firearms in the army was huge. It can be said that the generals who lost troops in the first battle were returned to themselves.

Running out of ammunition and food.

With one order, this war, which rarely even showed smoke, came to an end.

The guard camp directly penetrated the camp and pursued Liu Zeqing along the route he took when he escaped!

This time.

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in one place, and the military affairs in the four towns are under their control. In the early years in Liaodong, they were also enemies with our Qing soldiers.

"Have you found the Ming army general?"

The troops in Huai'an Town fled, and news of the attack soon spread to various places.

It immediately lost its combat effectiveness and became nothing more than an added bonus that could only be used to cheer on the battlefield in the future.

However, this person is only one of the few and his official position is not high at first glance. His ability to fight back depends on the concerted efforts of dozens of strong and powerful men around him. He can barely sustain the attack of the Qing army on the edge, but the entire Ming army in Huai'an Town has been completely

Rout!

I had thought before that when the war went well, we would bring in the new army to practice, and use the Shunwu God Gun we have on hand to shock the four towns.

What a familiar scene.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army is extremely rare in terms of firearms. Not to mention the black flag savages and Ming army who are digging trenches at every turn. From what I saw along the way, even if this Ming army dug trenches!

They will also be crossed!

That's it?

News came from behind that the Qing cavalry was still chasing after them desperately. Liu Zeqing could only keep running and reached Gucheng County in the middle of the morning. If he hadn't left a garrison here, he would have been imprisoned.

outside the city.

Wherever the Qing army went, the disorganized Ming army knelt on the ground.

You can only pay.

"Quickly collect the weapons of the captives! Gather the prisoners! Let them gather the food and supplies from this camp in one place so that they can be taken away easily! All armies will pursue the fleeing Ming army! All the cattle, horses, livestock, food and supplies from the camps around the camp must be taken away!

Anything that can’t be taken away will be burned!”

It’s really been a long time coming.

Years of accumulation, development, and patience.

still have a chance.

At least the defense of the Liaodong frontier army was a headache for the Qing Dynasty. Now these soldiers and red-coated cannons will probably disperse after they break through the city.

Four towns were immediately destroyed!

You must know that the reason why this Northern Expedition was organized with great vigor was entirely supported by his own assets. His heart was bleeding when the wages were paid out!

Azige's mood did not change when he heard this. Even if the Ming army commander was not captured in this battle, one of the four towns was severely damaged. With the big camp in hand, the plundered materials can be used to supply the currently meager army.

By the way, you don’t need to look at that savage’s eyes.

Finally, you’ve been waiting for such news!?

Now that I have touched it, it is actually not as good as those local Han army green battalion training!

The frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong earlier were incomparable!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yujian felt angina pectoris. Fortunately, he remembered the memorial submitted by Wang Chengen before.

"It's time to open more factories. We can't stop the expansion even if we open up more channels. Come and give Wang Chengen a verbal message, saying that I have approved all the factories, but he has to find the land by himself."

In addition, I want to ask how much the barbarians paid for the treasure ship he sold to the savages. The Navy of the DPRK intends to purchase several ships of the same size. Previously, he said that the trade with Liaodong cannot be stopped. If it is stopped, the losses will be huge, and it will also cause huge losses.

I’ll give you an accurate estimate and see how much I can lose.”

Something is wrong, the limited time is a bit long, I can only wait for two more days, sorry, sorry

The limit is only 30,000 yuan, and more will be added later, sorry!
Chapter completed!
